Kanye West: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
I’m not going to give you a rundown of every song on this classic album. It’s excellent, point blank. What I want you to do, even if you’ve never listened to any of Kanye’s previous albums is to open your mind and ears because this is what music sounds like.
Don’t label it HIP-HOP, ROCK, R&B, COUNTRY, TECHNO etc. This is music. I asked my girlfriend this morning if I can officially say “If you don’t like Kanye West you don’t like music.” I was not alive during the time of the Beatles but this is what is must’ve felt like. Mr. West is calling out all musicians without saying a name, rappers, rockers, whatever you do that involves sound this CD is asking you to take it further, because Mr. West is in another galaxy.
It’s funny because earlier in the year Pharrel Williams was saying that adding a female to his group would make his music more 3-D, I laugh because Kanye West’s sound has crossed over to the 3rd Dimension. No Mr. West won’t teach you how to “DOUGIE” he will teach you how to make music.
When this album releases next Tuesday all of you who are making sub standard music should use this as inspiration to better yourself. When I listen to good music it makes me feel almost as if my life is a movie and this album has took that to an epic level. So if you’re one of those who say that they love music, a casual listener, etc… take time out and listen to this album. The production value is through the roof even if you don’t like his lyrics.
Thanks for reading!

“Glee is a show that stars mainly white characters with a secondary cast of token “minorities” which is illustrated by the fact that only the white cast members were featured on the cover of Rolling Stone. The show is notorious for tokenism. It does so by including a limited number of individuals from oppressed groups to make a TV show (or workplace) “feel” more inclusive while maintaining the status quo. In this case the status quo is white and heterosexual. Token characters are usually relegated to a secondary or sidekick role. In Glee, nearly all the secondary characters are tokenized even as the writers attempt to cover it up by “special episodes about –insert oppression here–”.”

Not to mention the status quo in Glee is also thin, able-bodied, and cis. Then again, that’s almost every show.

Ok, these problems are all significant - but man, was it just me or did the ep suck plotwise? The only cute thing was Tina and Mike together (mostly because Artie bugs me) but that was overshadowed by the attempted lampshading that just made the whole situation seem MORE racist. Sometimes, I can’t even. Also, Matt’s been booted for this new kid, which makes me sad.

“I don’t expect gay people to prove to me, a straight person, that there’s actually homophobia. I don’t expect poor people to prove to me, a Harvard grad, that hunger and poverty are widespread problems. And if someone asked me, as an Asian person, to “prove” to them that racism exists, I would laugh all the way back to Chinatown. Marginalized groups are not responsible for explaining their marginalization to you. If you are actually concerned, you would take the initiative to do some research yourself instead of showing up at some oppressed group’s door step demanding a list of citations for things (racism, sexism, etc.) that are proven time and time again in the real world.”

these are ‘pineberries’. allegedly they were sourced from an endangered strain in South Africa and have been cultivated for the past seven years, now available for limited commercial purchase in Europe. they have the same genetic makeup as a strawberry, but are white with red seeds and taste like pineapples!
Yumm!
I need these in my life.

Fake rapper says Jay Electronica stole his lyrics… (RIGHT)
Read it here. First off this guy should get his ass beat for making these false claims. Anyone who knows hiphop knows that you cannot just conjuer up Jay Elect’s eloquence and wisdom. I find it pathetic that this guy made the claim. Jay Electronica is a humble man, I suggest Carter Whitelow battle Jay at a show and get embarrased. Saying a true writer stole someones words and can’t write rhymes is close to fucking another dudes wife. Watch your mouth Whitelow.
